Poetry Reading in a Bar: Gentle Words & Deep Ideas đđčâš
**Welcome to the Paris Poetry Circle!**
Now in its 30th year, our English-language poetry reading group continues to bring together lovers of verse and thought in the heart of Paris. đ
Join us this Wednesday evening for a gathering of minds and voices as we read and reflect on poems that move, challenge, and illuminate â all shared over some quiet drinks. đ«âïžđ„€đ§đč
We seek poems that are clear yet profound, sweet or serious â those that carry us forward and help us make sense of the world. We steer clear of the obscure or needlessly complex; we value clarity over cleverness, sincerity over show.
Each poem is read anonymously to begin with, without revealing the author, allowing space for open, unbiased interpretation. We then explore it together â carefully, curiously â to uncover what lies beneath the surface.
After the meeting, we write a letter of thanks to the living poets we have read at the group, to thank and congratulate them. We revere all the poets of this world.
The group is small â usually six or seven thoughtful individuals, up to a maximum of ten. The conversation is warm, intelligent, and grounded. There is no performance, no pressure to contribute, and no cost. Only a shared pursuit of insight, beauty, and fellowship.
If that resonates with you, weâd love to welcome you. Bring a poem, or simply bring yourself. đâš

Practical Philosophy Meetup - Paris đ«đ·
Bonjour Ă tous.tes ! Je m'appelle Emma, je suis l'organisatrice Practical Philosophy Paris :)
Practical Philosophy est un mouvement nĂ© au Mexique et qui est prĂ©sent partout dans le monde aujourd'hui. J'ai dĂ©couvert Practical Philosophy au Canada et j'ai tellement aimĂ© que j'ai dĂ©cidĂ© de l'importer Ă Paris (il y a aussi une branche Ă Lyon si vous n'ĂȘtes pas de la rĂ©gion).
**đïž CâEST QUOI, LA PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ?**
Practical philosophy, câest un rendez-vous hebdomadaire oĂč des esprits curieux se retrouvent pour creuser un sujet, affĂ»ter leur façon de sâexprimer et tisser des liens. Pas besoin dâĂȘtre un pro de la philo pour participer, tout le monde est le bienvenu ! đ
LâidĂ©e, câest que la philosophie, ce nâest pas juste pour les profs dâuniversitĂ©. Chaque semaine, on choisit un thĂšme et on en discute pour aiguiser notre esprit critique et nos talents de communicants. C'est aussi une maniĂšre d'apprendre Ă mieux se connaĂźtre soi-mĂȘme, en affirmant et argmumentant ce qu'on pense rĂ©ellement.
Bref, on bosse sur trois piliers : **PensĂ©e Critique**, **Communication** et **CommunautĂ©** đ.
**đ COMMENT ĂA MARCHE ?**
Chaque semaine, on se focalise sur un sujet quâon dĂ©cortique ensemble. Le thĂšme est annoncĂ©, souvent via le [groupe WhatsApp ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/G3By4PVqhqdKuQbMTs1rwo?mode=gi_t) quelques pistes pour lancer les Ă©changes. Les thĂšmes sont trĂšs variĂ©s et toutes les suggestions sont prises en compte (la beautĂ©, la richesse, la loyautĂ©...)
Quand on est plus de 7 ou 8, on se divise en petits groupes pour garder une ambiance fluide et éviter que ça ressemble à une conférence.
**DĂ©roulĂ© type dâune soirĂ©e**
Voici comment se passe une rencontre :
***19h00-19h15 **: On arrive, on papote, on fait connaissance dans une ambiance détendue.
** *19h15-19h25 **: Petit topo pour présenter Practical philosophie le sujet du jour, les rÚgles et le timing.
*** 19h25-20h45 **: On se rĂ©partit en petits groupes, on se prĂ©sente, on partage nos premiĂšres idĂ©es sur le sujet, puis on passe Ă une discussion libre. Des questions âdâamorceâ sont lĂ pour guider si besoin, mais rien dâobligatoire.
** *21h00-21h30 **: Tout le monde se regroupe pour faire le point. Chaque groupe partage un rĂ©sumĂ© rapide (1 minute) de ses conclusions. On termine par un mot de lâorganisateur et une photo de groupe.
*** AprĂšs 21h00 **: La partie officielle est finie, mais câest le moment parfait pour prolonger les discussions autour dâun verre ou dâun cafĂ©, histoire de renforcer les liens.
**đ§§ COMBIEN ĂA COĂTE ?**
Câest** GRATUIT **! Si on se retrouve dans un cafĂ©, on vous demande juste de prendre une conso.
**đ CE QUE LES GENS EN PENSENT**
đŁ *âLe Club de Philosophie, câest un endroit oĂč on construit ses propres idĂ©es Ă travers diffĂ©rents points de vue, sans quâon nous dise ce qui est bien ou mal.â* â Ekam
đŁ *âJâai accrochĂ© dĂšs le premier jour (le sujet Ă©tait lâautoritĂ©) et jâai tout de suite senti que câĂ©tait ma place. Câest un espace oĂč on apprend, on dĂ©couvre de nouvelles perspectives, on booste sa pensĂ©e critique et on crĂ©e du lien avec des gens qui challengent nos idĂ©es tout en encourageant lâouverture dâesprit.â* â Daniel
**đ€ FAQ**
** *Faut-il préparer ou lire quelque chose avant ?**
Aucune prĂ©paration nĂ©cessaire ! On ne rĂ©vise pas les grands philosophes, on veut savoir ce que** vous **pensez. Si vous avez une idĂ©e inspirĂ©e dâune religion ou dâune Ă©cole de pensĂ©e, partagez-la, on en discutera.**
*** Y a-t-il une philosophie spécifique au centre des discussions ?
Non, pas de dogme ici ! On veut entendre toutes les idées, sans se limiter à une école particuliÚre, pour muscler notre pensée critique.
** *Câest surtout des mecs qui viennent ?**
Pas du tout ! Contrairement Ă lâimage de la philo dans un salon sombre, nos rencontres sont Ă©quilibrĂ©es et sans ambiance lugubre !
*** Je peux venir seul(e) ?**
Oui, on encourage mĂȘme ça ! :)
** *Et si je suis en retard ?**
On prĂ©fĂ©rerait que vous soyez Ă lâheure ! On a 15 minutes de battement au dĂ©but si besoin.
*** OĂč se passent les rencontres ?**
Le lieu est annoncĂ© sur Meetup et dans notre [groupe Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B9NsoXm9saML5irDXtZeBE) Envoyez moi un message pour rejoindre le groupe đ Pour dĂ©couvrir les autres villes oĂč le Club existe, checkez notre [site web](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/).

Mastery by Robert Greene
đŒ Somewhere in a park in Paris, weâll sit down together and spend a bit of time with the first three chapters of ***Mastery* by Robert Greene**, a book about how people find their direction, often slowly and imperfectly, and grow into it over time.
Let's enjoy the rhythm of spring, and take some time to exchange perspectives in a relaxed, open-minded atmosphere. Itâs as much about the conversation as it is about the book, getting to know how others think, what resonates with them, and where views differ.
***Mastery*** is known for its clear, engaging writing and its mix of philosophy, psychology, and real-life stories. Greene looks at how people find their path, often in uncertain or unexpected ways, and how they develop their craft over time. For this gathering, weâll stay with the first three chapters (and leave the rest for a second round).
* **Discover Your Calling**
* **Submit to Reality**
* **See People as They Are**
Each of these opens up space for reflection, not just on the book, but on our own experiences. The conversation can move naturally between what Greene writes and what it brings up for each of us: moments weâve gone through, things weâre questioning, or perspectives that donât quite match.
Itâll be relaxed. Sitting in the grass, or on a bench, maybe with a coffee or something to share. No rigid structure, no pressure to speak if you donât feel like it. Just a group of people taking the time to think and talk, together. đŒ

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
Weâll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for allâthe venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
